The body or box 2 is of any approved construction, and 3 is the seat which is supported by springs 4 above two seat bars 5. The seat bars have hooks 6 which roject from them and engage with the sides 0 the body or box 2.

In order to prevent the seat bars from sliding and tilting out of place, a clam ing plate 16 is secured to each seat bar a ove the lower portion of the spring which is bolted to it. This clamping plate has a socket 7 on its upper side and a slot 8. A clam ing bolt 9 is slidable-in the socket 7 and as a projecting rib 10 which engages with the slot 8 so that the bolt is prevented from revolving. The bolt has a thumb-nut 12 at one end for tightening it, and at its other end it has a downwardly projecting clamping member 14. A clamping member 15 is secured to the side of the seat bar op- The combination, with a vehicle body provided with a side, of a seat, a seat bar normally slidable on the said side, a leaf spring secured to the seat and bearing on the seat bar, a clamping plate secured to the seat barover the lowerpart of the spring and provided with a socket, a non-revoluble clamping bolt slidable longitudinally inthe said socket and having at one end a downwardly projecting clamping member provided with a convex face which bears against the outer I surface of the body side, a clamping member secured to theseat bar and provided with a convex face which bears against the inner surface of the body side, and means for operatin the clamping bolt to secure and release t e seat.

In testimony whereof I have aflixed my signature in the i'esen'ce of two witnesses.
